Yeah Professor Layton is a professor of archeology and sometimes he uncovers ruins of ancient civilisations but most of the time he uncovers generational trauma
The snake is described as a "miniaturized" genus and species, much smaller than its closest relatives, Weinell said. While Levitonius mirus reaches at most 6.7 inches in length, "the size of a pencil," he said, "the closest relatives could be three to four times larger."
Sometimes, looking at things we thought we knew with fresh eyes (and new tools) can lead to incredible discoveries.
That’s what happened when Jeff Weinell, a graduate research assistant at the University of Kansas’ Biodiversity Institute, found out that three specimens of snakes preserved in the institute’s biodiversity collection, found in field missions between 2006 and 2012 and overlooked up to this point, belonged in a category of their own.
The three snake specimens are the only known members of a new snake genus, called Levitonius, and a new snake species, called Levitonius mirus.
The findings by Weinell and colleagues, based on methods including DNA analysis and CT scans looking at the snakes’ bone structure, were published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal Copeia.
The newly identified Levitonius mirus, also known as Waray dwarf burrowing snake, is native to the islands of Samar and Leyte in the Philippines, an exceptionally biodiverse archipelago that includes at least 112 land snake species, according to the study.

People don’t hate math. They hate being confused, intimidated, and embarrassed by math. Their problem is with how it’s taught.
Finally
A Mathematician’s Lament or Lockhart’s Lament is an essay explaining a lot of what’s wrong with how math is commonly taught. One of the comparisons is “like learning musical notation without ever hearing the music,” which felt quite spot-on. Highly informative reading.

It’s hard to explain how alienating the media has been this year as an “essential worker”. Every single piece of media produced this year is about how “we’re all” stuck inside all the time now, and I’m just like….. I got two weeks at home when I actually had covid and otherwise have gone to work every single day I normally would. All these adverts and news show lines about how we’re all in this together and we’re all spending our days baking banana bread and zoom calling and all this and I’m like….. Well, not all of us I guess. And it’s weirdly alienating and makes you feel weird and cut off
We get to experience the other side of the pandemic: being overworked, coming home exhausted, constantly worried that you’ve been exposed. Having to tell strangers to please wear their masks, and not knowing whether they’ll react reasonable, or if they’ll scream at you for daring to ask them for common decency. Dealing with clients who act like they’ve never been asked to do curbside service, who don’t answer their phones despite being told multiple times that we need to call them, that we’re not doing business in person unless strictly necessary. It’s frustrating.
aesthetic attraction is wild bc it’s like “yes i’m asexual but i’m also very gay and women are extremely hot”
so basically to summarise
I don’t know a ton about solarpunk aesthetics, so hopefully I got it right! I hope you like it!

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.
The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.
Here’s their website - Food Plant Solutions - and they can use volunteers! And $ of course. What they really need help with is connecting with NGOs/groups on the ground already working in countries, to get them access to the database. They also need help from formally trained agronomists, people good with website stuff, and people good at marketing / getting the word out about their project.
Can’t believe it’s been December for 25 days and I haven’t seen the reingators at all
Go watch Pixar’s Soul if you have Disney+.
Go watch Soul because it actually has black people on screen for most of the movie.
Go watch Soul because we’re not caricatures or flat, one-note black stereotypes.
Go watch Soul because it actually has an important message on one’s passion and purpose in life that I refuse to spoil here.
Go watch Soul because the trailers DON’T actually give away the plot and the movie’s genuinely better the trailers.
Go watch Soul because you bet your ass corporate’s gonna blame low numbers on the film having vast majority black characters and try to stop this kinda movie from ever happening again.
Go watch Soul because judging the entirety of a movie before it even airs based on the freakin’ trailer (which is hardly ever actually put together by the creators of the film itself and is more tied to the marketing department) instead of the actual film itself is an incredibly ignorant thing to do.
Go watch Soul and form your own opinion instead of jumping on a woke bandwagon.
Signed,
A black person that actually watched this movie
If any of y'all want to know how to make some super dope beef stew super easily LISTEN UP
Take a couple pounds of beef and cube it. Put that shit in a crock pot.
Add 1 ½ cups water.
Add an onion soup packet.
And a glass of red wine.
Hell yeah
Pour yourself some wine too you deserve it.
Add like half an onion and season with pepper, salt, chipotle pepper, garlic, cinnamon, and cloves. I don’t measure I just dash some in and adjust to taste when I add the root vegetables.
Nice.
Mix that shit up.
Now put on high and ignore for 3 hours.
In 3 hours, add veggies. Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, whatever ya got. Mushrooms are good too. I’ll add some dried morels, crumbled up. Will post again when we get to that point.
Can recommend the above recipe, but with a dark brown ale instead of wine and with pickled walnuts added with the veggies
……man that sounds good too will have to try that sometime.
Ok meat is done through now dump in some baby carrots or chop up some regular carrots and throw in some taters. I use red because I hate peeling them fuck that. Also crumbled up a half dozen dried morel mushrooms and threw in some flour to thicken things up. Added some fresh thyme because why the hell not.
nice.
Now ignore for another hour.
As for the cut of meat; doesn’t matter get what’s cheap. Anything gets tender if you stew it in a crock pot for six hours. Spices can be tinkered with as you see fit. Add other veggies as you see fit. Nothing is set in stone do what you want, man. Sub beer for the wine, throw in pork, ‘s all good. Pour yourself some more wine or beer and play Skyrim for awhile.
Note that the finished stew can be frozen in single portions and thawed in the microwave later, and will feed either a family for a night or you for a week if you live alone.
By the way, would dumplings be addable to this?
I’m addicted to having dumplings in my stews/soups…
DO IT
Hey @systlin is there anything you’d recommend as a substitute for wine/beer to someone who can’t legally buy alcohol?
Beef stock.
I don’t even know how i ended up fullowing your blog but now there is beef stew and i live for that.
I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and allspice in mine. Veggies are carrots and green beans (need to be in for ~30 minutes especially if using fresh GBs) and tomatoes added in the last 10 minutes (again if fresh, could definitely go on less time if using canned). I skip the potatoes because I am not a person who enjoys them in stew, and always serve with baguettes!
So I got handed some free beef last week and didn’t know what to do with it, fortunately I was able to find this post! Being allergic to garlic and having some different flavour preferences (some skip potatoes, i skip carrots), I made some adjustments to it, and I think it turned out great. Fell asleep with the damn thing set on high for 5 hours after adding my veggies like a fool because I missed my timer, but fortunately I just tossed in more of the broth and it was fine, so I feel pretty safe calling it distraction-proof. The necromancer reviewed this as a “happy accident” because he doesn’t like stew and it turned out very thick, with the rice and potatoes having just absorbed ALL the liquid (and by the same token, all the flavour). Whenever I needed more liquid, I added more of the beef broth, not water. Super tender meat, wonderful soft potatoes, great flavour, every gripe I usually have with pot roasts and beef stews has been fixed. It was so good a single bite immediately cured my headache. Picture of recipe included for easy saving purposes.
Pouring yourself a glass? Good. Making yourself something a little fancier? ALSO GOOD. Treat yourself! I made spiced wine with the rest of the bottle while stew cooked, which paired really well for a nice cozy winter meal. @arathergrimreaper @thegrimmlovely
Dammit, now I gotta go back to the store.

Go have a nice day everyone ☀️
sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.
“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.
“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.
when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.
if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.
you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.
This is the most carefully-nuanced discussion of this I think I have ever seen. Thank you for writing this.
The Apex Signs II:
Aries: Something with teeth like a great saw and a mane of tentacles ringed with hooked sucker-mouths. Latching on to things ten times its size and gnawing holes straight through.
Taurus: One of the great tide-steeds. Hides of chitin. Thin, pointed legs dig into sand, grazing on kelp washed up and baking in the sun.
Gemini: Something tall and thin, something that resembles a living strand of bamboo, hopping along on a single, strong foot. Fibrous, whiplike tongue snagging insects out of the air.
Cancer: Something that looks like a toad with hundreds of eyes. It hovers above the ground for a few moments, lets loose a solitary croak, and every mosquito within ten meters drops dead.
Leo: Leathery, clawed wings and viciously sharp teeth used only for disemboweling fruit. Hordes of sap and stones constructed in the crooks of tall, strong trees.
Virgo: An eyeless dove with five extra wings. Science is unable to determine how they are able to navigate, or fly, or reproduce.
Libra: Something slow and grey and bodyless. Something that seeps through the cracks in the ceilings of dungeons and old factories. A pincushion of jagged metal, slowly ever slowly digesting.
Scorpio: Colossal stone quadrupeds that wander the overgrown fields where the ruins are. Features weather-worn and vague after years of wandering.
Ophiuchus: Gossamer wings and swollen bellies full of gas. Story-long leg paddle through toxic water, probing for anything unlucky enough to fall in.
Sagittarius: Something that looks like a great horned owl. It towers over you, a long elaborate smoking pipe gripped in its beak.
Capricorn: A gentle giant. An armored shell and a horned nose like a battering ram. Its ears flick in the wind, listening for anything that would disturb its young playing in the clay.
Aquarius: What looks to be a serpent, nestled in the branches of an ancient mangrove. It basks in the noon sun, eyes closed. Its wings lazily fanning the clutch of eggs it protects.
Pisces: A species of bat that sweats a highly flammable liquid. When startled they burst into flame. Illegal to capture. Responsible for many villages burning to the ground.
